HOSPITALITY during Mane Event includes a Friday night celebration, honoring all Good Hands Finals riders. This event continues to get better every year. It features food, music, and dancing. Our Saturday night party, considered by many to be the best on the show circuit, features multiple gourmet food stations (including the famous Lobster Bisque) and no long waiting lines.
